Pacific Islands Trust Fund for Nature Conservation An overview
The Pacific Islands' biodiversity is unique. Over 50 per cent of the region's terrestrial plant species are found nowhere else on earth. The terrestrial animals include rich arrays of birds,
reptiles, land snails and insects. Its national and international waters include the world's most extensive and diverse reefs, the largest tuna fishery, the deepest oceanic trenches and
significant remaining populations of many globally threatened species including whales, turtles, dugongs and saltwater crocodiles.
